02/14/2023, 7:32 PMHey everyone, I was wondering if there is any progress on https://github.com/Netflix/metaflow/issues/424 - we would like to build library of flows that would be called from our existing apps, but without programatic way to kick off flows, it’s impossible. Subprocess.run is pretty bad alternative, so I’d love to hear if it’s in plans or if there is any workaround?

02/14/2023, 8:21 PMwe don't have a programmatic API yet (but your comments in this design memo are welcome)
when it comes to triggering flows programmatically, we will have a solution for that soon through the event-triggering feature

02/14/2023, 8:22 PMdo you use Step Functions or Argo?

02/14/2023, 8:41 PM@billowy-article-38691 you can follow the work on event-triggering in this PR . Also, you can use the Argo SDK (and the Kubernetes SDK) to explicitly trigger workflows deployed on Argo Workflows. All Metaflow flows on Argo Workflows are native WorkflowTemplates and can be (re)used as needed within the Argo/K8s context.

02/14/2023, 9:06 PMthanks, I’ll keep an eye

02/14/2023, 9:06 PMfrankly, just using argo events may be enough
billowy-article-38691
02/14/2023, 9:06 PMor even just workign with argo itself, I have a lot of experience with argo, so that’s not an issue for me
billowy-article-38691
02/14/2023, 9:06 PMstill, I’ll keep an eye on this, thank you!
